Humidity Container; Foods Suitable For "Cool-Fresh" Container; Storage Times (At 0 °C); Freezer Compartment - Gaggenau RB 289 Gebrauchsanleitung

Humidity container

The humidity container is covered with a special filter
which optimises retention of the air humidity
in the storage compartment. As a result, there is up
to 95 % air humidity in the humidity container,
depending on the amount of products put in. This
storage climate offers ideal conditions for fresh fruit,
salad greens, vegetables, herbs and mushrooms.
Notes
▯
Fruit sensitive to cold (e.g. pineapple, banana,
papaya and citrus fruit) and vegetables sensitive
to cold (e.g. aubergines, cucumbers, zucchini,
peppers, tomatoes and potatoes) should be
stored outside the refrigerator at temperatures
of approx. 8 °C to 12 °C for optimum
preservation of quality and flavour.
▯
Condensation may form in the humidity container
depending on the type and quantity of products
stored. Remove condensation with a dry cloth.
